Technology can be a majorly useful resource when it comes to school. It can speed up the processes of research, citing, and discovery. Within this fall semester, our class was introduced to the different tools of Evernote, Evernote Web Clipper, Feedly, and Zotero. These tools helped our class to overcome challenges, support our work, and create new organization and studying strategies.
Evernote and Evernote Web Clipper were large supporters of my work in this course. An online notebook, where one can record anything they desire and also snap pictures of anything on their screen, had never been introduced to me before. It is a very cool and effective concept. Evernote has so many possibilities in which it can be utilized. In addition to taking notes, Evernote allows you to create different notebooks, gives access to an atlas, allows you to sync your Evernote with others, allows you to share your Evernote, and also helps you set reminders. Evernote helped me to keep all my work and notes in one place, and not loose track of things that I wanted or needed to record. Evernote Web Clipper allowed me to snap images of whatever was on my screen and then synced the image into my Evernote application. The Web Clipper was used if I chose to snap a picture of an article, graph, or quick link to a youtube video. In addition to this, the Web Clipper can capture web clips, annotate pages, and record audio. Evernote helped me stay organized and introduced me to more efficient ways to gather information.
My Personal Knowledge Base (PKB) was advanced in the areas of American Public Education and school reforms by using Evernote. I was able to clip articles and charts while doing projects on Rhode Island Education reforms. Articles clipped from Feedly, a tool that supplies thousands of articles from numerous sources, were very helpful in the areas of education reforms. I was also able to save notes on other people’s projects and things we reviewed in class. My Personal Knowledge Base now consists of articles, notes, references, and reflections on ideas. Evernote helped to advance my knowledge on school reforms in America and around the world.
The most consistent challenge with learning this semester was staying on top of work assigned, retaining information previously learned, and properly citing in papers. Procrastination has always been a personal problem and this year the realization that preparation and time are essential elements in doing work finally dawned on me. The most difficult classes that I have experienced are most definitely Art History 251 and Nutrition 210. These classes are purely made up of memorization, which takes time, dedication, and a lot of repetition. This semester I adopted the strategy of organizing new knowledge more efficiently and planning out a work schedule better, which helped me retain information and stay on top of my workload. With the application Zotero I was able to have something that would automatically cite things for me, which helped me to properly add citations to my papers.
In the future I will now be able to use Evernote to store notes from my other classes. This semester I only used it for notes within our Education class. Having all my notes in the same place on an online source will help me to stay more organized and assist me in studying for exams. My participation in other courses will improve with the lasting resources of Evernote, Evernote Web Clipper, Feedly, and Zotero.
